Giveaway & Review: Gluten Free Shielding Lotion from Skin MD Natural

Finding gluten free skin care is challenging at times because wheat and oats are commonly used ingredients.  Luckily, Skin MD Natural offers high-performance shielding lotions that are not only gluten free, but also vegan and not tested on animals. Kudos to Skin MD Natural!

What is a shielding lotion?

Skin MD says...

"A shielding lotion does the real work to prevent dry skin in two ways. First, it assists the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture. The humectant (an ingredient that attracts moisture) used in Skin MD Natural is unique to it and has been laboratory tested to be 6 times more effective than any other you will find in common creams. 

Second, a shielding lotion enhances the power of the top layer of the skin to resist environmental irritants while protecting the inner natural moisture.

This can be a big benefit for those who cook, wash dishes and garden because Skin MD Natural helps skin retain its natural moisture and oils in the face of all those irritating soaps and chemicals.

People with sensitive skin -- and those of us who like to live as naturally as possible -- will appreciate that Skin MD Natural is hypoallergenic, free of fragrances, parabens and colorants. It is made with more than 90% natural ingredients and 100% food-grade ingredients that are on the FDA's "most safe" list."

People are talking...

www.skinmdnatural.com has many dermatologist and user reviews including several addressing severe dry skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis.

My thoughts...

My daughter and I have sensitive skin which is prone to eczema.  Winter seems to be the worst time for us, as we both suffer from painful, dry, chapped hands.  We tried the Original Shielding Lotion from Skin MD Natural and within two days our hands were back to their normal color and moisture level... how cool is that?  I love this terrific skin care product!  I especially appreciate that it didn't sting or irritate our skin when it was applied to the chapped areas, as has happened with other lotions in the past.  Two thumbs up For Skin MD Natural!
